Adhyaya 85 — The Gods’ Hymn to the Goddess and the Emergence of Kaushiki; Shumbha Sends His Envoy
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शान्तिरूपेण संस्थिता ।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥
yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śāntirūpeṇa saṃsthitā / namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शान्तिरूपेण संस्थिता । नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः ॥

Peace is not merely a social ideal but a divine presence pervading all beings; reverence to the Devī is expressed by honoring and cultivating śānti within oneself and toward others.
Primarily outside the pancalakṣaṇa historiographic topics; it belongs to devotional-theological instruction (stuti) embedded in the Purāṇic narrative rather than sarga/pratisarga/vaṃśa/manvantara/vaṃśānucarita.
Śānti is presented as Śakti’s subtle mode: the inner stilling power by which mind and prāṇa settle, enabling dharma and insight; the refrain intensifies single-pointed devotion (bhakti) and remembrance (smaraṇa).
